3. The following definitions are recognized by DOE, DFNSB and EFCOG. These are specific definitions that seem to be different between sites. Good to have a slide that ensure that (at least during the presentation) everyone is aligned with the same language. Activity-level work: Any job, task, or sub-task performed at DOE sites or facilities where hazards are present or are introduced by the work or the work environment (regardless of who is performing the work or the organization with which they are affiliated). The hazards involved could be potentially adverse to worker health and safety, the environment, safeguards or security because of exposure to radiological, chemical, industrial, biological, or other task or facility identified hazards. As used in this guideline, activity-level work does not apply to activities such as commuting to and from work, administrative/office work and associated administrative vendor services such as food/vending machine services that do not directly affect or potentially impact the facilities, equipment, or surrounding work environment. Task: A step (i.e., action) or series of steps designed to contribute to a specified end result for an activity. It has an identifiable beginning and end that is a measurable component of the duties and responsibilities of a specific activity

4. The following definitions are recognized by DOE, DFNSB and EFCOG. Skill of the Worker (SOTW): The basic discipline specific skill sets that are defined for workers. Skill sets obtained through approved methods (i.e., Facility Training requirements) and accepted training/education and site experience are defined as SOTW. Line management evaluates, defines, and documents SOTW based upon accepted practices, training, and qualification, familiarity with tools and equipment, processes, and methods. SOTW is not a type of work; it is a factor in determining the level of detail in work documents to appropriately control work activities and ensure expected results.
